Organic Wheat Grass Juice

Organic wheat grass juice is made from the young shoots of the common wheat plant (Triticum aestivum) grown organically. The shoots are harvested when they are young and tender, then juiced. The juice is often dried into a powder for use in supplements and other food products.

Manufacturers add organic wheat grass juice for its nutritional content, often marketed as a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is commonly found in meal replacement supplements, fruit and vegetable juices, and health drinks.

Organic wheat grass juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients and is often consumed for potential health benefits, though scientific evidence for specific health claims is still developing. JECFA has evaluated wheat grass, but did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
